FanGraphs (and by FanGraphs, I mean Carson Cistulli) should keep track of SCOUT winners and considering them award winning players for the rest of their careers. For example, should we ever have reason to refer to Nanita in the future, we should mention that he is “2011 DWL SCOUT MVP Ricardo Nanita.”

But I think the award needs a better name than DWL SCOUT MVP. Maybe SCOUT Champion, or SCOUT Czar.

Why don’t you assign a fielding value for each player based off zips projections? I was thinking you could do +10 for EX, +5 for VG, 0 for AV, -5 for FR, and -10 for PO. That would be simple enough. Also, it would be interesting to see how well speed score correlates to Bsr, and depending on how well it does calculate the players SPD score and convert it to xBsr or something like that
